RE: Alternatives to build a LF on the fly

 
 
Valerio,
Some other hints...
 
  - QTEMP should already be at the top of your list (best  practice)
  - You can use a permanent LF and simple OVRDBF.  That way  someone changing 
the file should maintain your LF as well.
  - Or you can build a LF in QTEMP with the same name (so you don't  need to 
OVRDBF), but over the base PF.
  - The LF can have Select or Omit criteria to do the subsetting as  long as 
you use DDS to define it.
 
I'd recommend using a permanent LF with Select/Omit criteria.    If you 
create a wrapper CLP, it might look like this (real example  overriding L3 with 
L6):
 
  OVRDBF     WBHD00L3 WBHD00L6
  [call your program here]
  DLTOVR     WBHD00L3

In fact I need the same record selections and, most  importantly, the
same sequence. I think I'll try Paul's suggestion (use  CRTDUPOBJ of the
LF instead of CRTLF)

Many thanks to  all!!!
